Any More Suggestions

[Tilly2]

as to these flowers?

The bees love them, especially the red bottomed bees. I've just sat on the doorstep and watched them collecting the pollen. Some of them had so much on their little legs, they could hardly fly!

As i said before, Shoots, Rape has long thin leaves, usually.

[Tilly2]

......well the stuff growing in the fields around us, has. This might be a different .........genus?

Have a look at these pics, I think shoota is right. http://www.bayercropscience.co.uk/your-crop/crop-diseases-weeds-and-pests/broad-leaved-weeds/volunteer-oilseed-rape/

Have you looked at the leaves in my link?

Who said rape has long thin leaves?

[RATTER15]

Tilly, I think there are different varieties of oil seed rape. Maybe the leaf differs on different varieties.

[Tilly2]

I did Shoots but I mightbe wrong. :-)

[RATTER15]

Some of the leaves in my link look very similar to yours.

Feed it to ruminants, if rapeseed they will eat it.

Definitely a member of the mustard family (Brassicaceae) which include, rape and mustard.
The bright greenness of the leaves and stems are steering me towards Black Mustard, after sifting through countless images, but I wouldn't rule out a hybrid.
What ever it seems like its a big hit with the bees!!

[Robinia]

I agree I still think it's mustard. Either way it's pretty and as chipchopper said the bees love it. See what the seeds look like.

Honeysuckle?

Errrr............no, Danny. :-)

Are you winding me up?

I have some of these in my wildflower patch. I've just had a look at the leaves and what I assumed was one variety of these flowers is actually two different ones...the rape has longish smooth sided leaves, the mustard has more rounder serrated edge leaves. The flowers are very similar.
It appears I have both.

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Ron. It was the leaves on mine which didn't fit with the Rapeseed suggestion.

Thanks for clearing that up.

[ethandron]

It's eth actually...;)

///Are you winding me up?///
Would I do that?

[Tilly2]

Sorry, Eth. I do apologise.

Yes Danny, you would. I don't mind though. :-)
